[Nick is, in fact, definitely not as much as a big dumb asshole, which is why he's been staying out of the Dead District as much as he can. He has his orders from Sherman on what to do if he runs into any Blood Keys, and he... really doesn't want to follow them, so he's doing his best to make it a non issue by just avoiding the whole thing.
But he still has a job to do, and occasionally that job involves talking to potential witnesses or possible suspects in the Dead District. Which is why he was there right then, coming back from a moderately successful interview with a woman who may have spoken to the victim in one of his cases on the night she died.
He's heading back to his car when he spots Max, on foot in the Dead District, and hesitates. It looks like Max is alone - and that's far from surprising, really. It's also not all that surprising that Max'd been down here, when Nick thinks about it, but that doesn't make him any less worried. Or exasperated, but since Max is wandering around the Dead District alone, worried is the most pressing concern.
Nick changes course, heading over to the motorcycle cop.]
Tell me you have an actual reason to be here, man.
